The Summit 2026

On 25 November, Charities Institute Ireland brings together three of the sharpest voices in leadership today for an afternoon unlike anything else in the sector calendar. Governance at Altitude takes over the Royal Irish Academy of Music to tackle the question every leader will eventually have to answer: as AI takes on more of the deciding, who still owns the consequence? Across three acts, Trust, Accountability and Uncertainty, each speaker takes the stage alone, then stays to be challenged live by the other two in front of the room. Every idea put forward gets tested, in real time, with nowhere to hide. By the close, all three come together for one final conversation, answering the question none of them could fully answer alone. Expect better questions, sharper thinking, and a room full of the people shaping Irish leadership. This is one afternoon you won't want to have missed.
